Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 8 oz. extra-wide egg noodles
  • 2 tbsp. unsalted butter

Beef and Coating

  • 1 lb. skirt steak
  • 2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 3 tbsp. all-purpose flour

Mushroom and Vegetables

  • 8 oz. baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 large shallots, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 2 1/4 tbsp. unsalted butter, divided
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 tbsp. water

Sauce

  • 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp. tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef stock
  • 1/2 cup full-bodied red wine
  • 1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Other

  • 3 tbsp. neutral oil (e.g., vegetable or canola oil)
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook Noodles: In a large pot of boiling water, cook the extra-wide egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Drain the noodles and transfer them to a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and toss well to coat the noodles evenly.
  2. Prepare and Cook Steak: Slice the skirt steak against the grain into 2-inch thick pieces. In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons kosher salt with 3 tablespoons flour. Heat 3 tablespoons of neutral oil in a large, shallow pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Dredge the steak pieces in the flour and salt mixture, shaking off any excess. Test the heat by placing an edge of steak in the pan; it should sizzle aggressively. Cook the steak pieces, turning once, until deep golden brown on each side, about 1 minute per side. Remove the steak from the pan and transfer to a cutting board.
  3. Sauté Mushrooms: In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon butter, sliced mushrooms, and 1/4 cup water over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping the pan’s bottom to release any browned bits, for 8 to 10 minutes until the mushrooms are golden brown. Season with salt to taste and stir to combine. Use a slotted spoon to transfer mushrooms to a plate, leaving the liquid in the pan.
  4. Caramelize Shallots: Reduce the heat to low. Add the sliced shallots, 3 tablespoons water, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the pan. Stir occasionally and cook for 10 to 15 minutes until the shallots are caramelized and have developed a sweet flavor.
  5. Add Aromatics and Make Sauce: Add the chopped garlic to the shallots and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly until fragrant. Increase heat to medium-high, then add Dijon mustard, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir and cook for about 1 minute until the paste turns brick red. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon flour over the mixture and cook for another minute until the flour is toasted. Gradually pour in the beef stock and red wine, stirring as you bring the sauce to a boil. Let it cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly reduces, about 5 minutes. Remove 1/2 cup of the sauce and stir in the sour cream in a small bowl.
  6. Combine and Finish: Thinly slice the seared steak against the grain into 1/2-inch strips. Return the sliced steak and mushrooms to the pan with the sauce. Add the sour cream mixture and noodles to the pan. Cook, tossing constantly, for about 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the noodles evenly. Adjust seasoning with additional salt to taste.
  7. Serve: Divide the Beef Stroganoff among serving bowls or plates. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, slice the steak against the grain to ensure tenderness.
  • You can substitute the skirt steak with other tender cuts like sirloin or flank steak.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, allow it to reduce a little longer before adding the sour cream mixture.
  • Using full-bodied red wine enhances the depth of flavor but can be omitted or replaced with additional beef stock.
  • Extra-wide egg noodles are traditional; tagliatelle or pappardelle can be used as alternatives.
